1. Drop off your kids with the best babysitter ever.
2. Hop in the car and zoom to Springfield to meet your friends.
3. Arrive at Nationals' Baseball Stadium in DC.
4. Watch free opera. Pucinni's Tosca.
5. Get shushed by old people cuz hey, they paid A LOT for their free seats and don't appreciate your giggles and don't want to move to one of the thousands of empty seats. I can't help it if Scarpia looks like he has heartburn while he's trying to look turned on!
6. Enjoy beautiful, perfect weather and delicious chili cheese fries from Ben's Chili Bowl.
7. Feel all cultured and snooty as you drive home to pick up your kiddos from their awesome sleepover.
8. Start counting the days until next year!
Some pics:
A little pre-opera entertainment.
Love it!!
Bring it Placido!
Poor Tosca.
Boo-yah! Holla to the hood!
I bet Dave Burdick 18 million dollars that these were made of metal and were not helium balloons hanging from the side of the parking garage.
Somebody owes this girl $18m.
Fancy picture in the parking garage.
hopefully we will be joining you next year!
